What application do I use to open compressed zip files?

Hi!
I am wondering what application I use to open a compressed zip file?
Thanks.

Normally you just double-click on them and they open! The application that does this is "Archive Utility". Located in /System/Library/CoreServices .

What application do I use to open Ghostery?

I had successfully downloaded Ghostery to my macbook and imac. But it "went away" after I upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard. I keep downloading it but unlike my first installation, I'm asked what application to use to open it. What application do I use to open my downloaded Ghostery?

.xpi is the extension for Firefox extensions (add ons), not safari, which is looking for .safariextz. You are downloading the extension for the wrong browser. I did give you a link to download the safari version above. Here it is again.
Of course if you are using FF then you have the .xpi so drop it on FF add ons window to install it in FF.
You didn't originally specify which browser you are using so I just assumed it was Safari.
And if it is neither FF or Safari then Ghostery has extensions for a wide variety of other browsers. See here.

You can go directly to flip4mac.com, to get wmv codec for quicktime, but it only allows you to play unprotected wmv files (wmv v9 I guess).
For realvideo, there is a realvideo mac player, on real website. Just install it...

What application do I use to open the document "Desktop".

New hard drive, no desktop feature. When I click Desktop in Finder I get the message There is no application to open Desktop.
What do I do?

Yes.
The COLORED DESKTOP ICON doesn't function for me (yes it is a folder) but I was able to
create a new "blue folder" desktop icon that does work. However, shouldn't I be able to use the
"real" desktop folder to open and see the actual whole desktop? I tied to Trash it, but it won't go away.
How can I move the files I want to be in it to it?
Thank you very very much for your help. Sylvia

It appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.

Question: what is "URIHandler" and what application do I use to open it with?

I am trying to download a trial version of CC Illustrator and Photoshop (for work) on my own desktop. I'm part of an adobe work group. When I click on the link, "Get here to get started" I get a prompt box in response, called Creative Cloud (URI Handler) which prompts me to "Choose an Application" with a Choose button. When I click on that button I come to what looks like an empty Applications Folder with a message that says, "No items match your search" I don't know what to do next. Should I see Adobe Illustrator or something?

That question makes very little sense? What exactly do you want to do?

When I open a link to a doc file, it opens in Microsoft Office 2010 as a .bmp file. I opened Firefox options to change what application should be used to open doc files, but it only gives me the option of the general Microsoft Office, not Microsoft Word.

This did not happen on my laptop when I installed the Microsoft Office home & student edition, and my laptop also has Windows 7 and I use Firefox. Please help!

Applications Crash After Use Of Open/Save/Pick File or Folder Dialog

Hi, all.
This has been a problem since I installed 10.6 (the day it was released).
The 10.6.1 helped somewhat, but this is still a real problem.
I'll describe what happnes:
I'll be in a program (any program: MS Word, TextEdit, Safari, anything) and I'll use any of the following dialogs:
-Open
-Save Pick
--a-file
-Pick-a-folder
or anything like that.
Then, never during the time I'm using the dialog, always soon (there's often a delay of a few seconds) afterward, I'll get a message saying that the program quit unexpectedly. It says that an error report has been sent, and gives me the option the reopen the program or ignore the quit. (Except MS Word; it has it's own error reporting system).
Now, this is a BAD program because it happens when I save something.
It is important for me to note that this doesn't happen all the time. Some programs seem more stable than others, and some file formats (the one I select) stabler than others. Also, it seems that (at least with Safari) I can do things to reduce the likelihood of this crash happening. Sometimes opening using Rosetta helps. Sometimes 64-Bit helps. Sometimes disabling the cache helps.
It all seems pretty random.
Bottom line: this is REALLY annoying, especially when it occurs after use of the save dialog. Apple needs to fix this.
Is there a way for me to fix this myself?
Apple Hardware Test comes out clean. No problems with my startup disk, as far as I know.
It is nice to have QuickLook available in these dialogs, but if that's what's causing the problem, it'd be worth it to me to disable it. Any way to do that, just to try?
Anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks!
-Nate

Thanks for the reply and info!
All right, so I found crash reports for each recent such crash.
Here's the most recent one, caused by either an open or a save (I can't remember which) dialog. I think I clicked Cancel on that dialog, but it crashed anyway. Here's the part of the log you mentioned (Sorry for the links in that, they aren't supposed to be there, and I sure didn't make them myself):

And, now that you mention it, yes: there are aliases in the CrashReporter folder to some of the crash files in the DiagnosticReports folder. Oddly, only those that belong to AppleScript Editor are present.
As for the system.log:
Here's what happens right after one of the crashes (Again, sorry for the mystery links):

So, what's a Segmentation Fault? That looks like the problem right there.
Thanks again!

Acrobat 9 tries to open all .zip files

Acrobat 9 tries to open all zip files I attempt to download - not just zipped PDF's. Under folder management, the zip file type is not associated with Acrobat and is not showing with a PDF icon. The zip file will not open in any unzipping program, it just goes to Acrobat.
When I download any zip file I get a message like this:
Acrobat could not open "somefilename.zip" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged.
This happens with every zip file - how do I disassociate Acrobat from all zip file types?

You need to change the file type association in Windows Explorer of the Folders Control Panel.
The easiest way would to use Windows Explorer to find a file with the ".ZIP" file extension and then use the right mouse click to bring up the context menu. You can then select the "Open With..." option, make sure you check the option to set the 'always associate' (it is the only option) and then find WinZip, PKZip, RAR, or what ever program you use to open the "ZIP" type file.

''Problem:'' For whatever reason, NoScript is stopping Runescape Community Toolbar from working properly which freezes your first Firefox window.
''Fix:'' Uninstall the toolbar. Disable NoScript. Install the toolbar. Add your RS account to it and make sure it works, then Enable NoScript again.
EDIT: Posted a fix earlier that was wrong. Corrected to the right one, sorry ^_^ Answer was on Runescape Forums.

What program do I use to open a .bundle?

This sounds like a rediculous question. Also you might not think it was applicable to windows compatibility but it is. I downloaded a dmg of a program called "WINE" (stands for WINE Is Not an Emulator). In it, it has a file called Wine.bundle. Well when I double click on it, it asks me what program I should use to open it. I frankly have no idea... I mean I thought .bundles were just something it opened up. Just like an exe (or more like a zip file I guess) on a windows machine. It's really annoying... I just wanna play a game...:(

The simple and short answer is that .bundle files are helpers for something else to use. They're not necessarily the "application" that you would double-click and execute.
Your version of Wine may require that X11 also be installed from your Mac OS X installer disks.
